Waking Gods
ByPublisher Description
In the gripping sequel to Sleeping Giants, Sylvain Neuvel’s innovative series about human-alien contact takes another giant step forward.
“Sleeping Giants may have debuted his thrilling saga, but Waking Gods proves that Neuvel’s scope is more daring than readers could have imagined.”—Paste
As a child, Rose Franklin made an astonishing discovery: a giant metallic hand, buried deep within the earth. As an adult, she’s dedicated her brilliant scientific career to solving the mystery that began that fateful day: Why was a titanic robot of unknown origin buried in pieces around the world? Years of investigation have produced intriguing answers—and even more perplexing questions. But the truth is closer than ever before when a second robot, more massive than the first, materializes and lashes out with deadly force.
Now humankind faces a nightmare invasion scenario made real, as more colossal machines touch down across the globe. But Rose and her team at the Earth Defense Corps refuse to surrender. They can turn the tide if they can unlock the last secrets of an advanced alien technology. The greatest weapon humanity wields is knowledge in a do-or-die battle to inherit the Earth . . . and maybe even the stars.
Praise for Waking Gods
“Kick-ass, one-on-one robot action combines with mind-bending scientific and philosophical speculation. Series science-fiction fans will enjoy this follow-up filled with unexpected revelations and a surprise finale.”—Booklist
“Pure, unadulterated literary escapism featuring giant killer robots and the looming end of mankind. In a word: unputdownable.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Sheer escapist fun.”—Shelf Awareness

“Waking gods was a good sequel to sleeping giants. It utilizes the same unique story telling through the perspective of interviews, personal logs, journal entries, and other recordings. The story telling style is actually my favorite part. Without saying too much along the lines of spoilers, there are certain characters that I find most entertaining and I hope the books can maintain the interest those characters provided in the 1st & 2nd books as the series progresses. The story was intriguing throughout and kept me interested, but there’s a few small plot lines that leave you a bit wanting or characters that can be a bit annoying. However, the book was intriguing enough that I will throw the 3rd book in my read list and give it a shot.”
